A video surfaced showing a policeman throwing a girl to the ground and drawing a gun on others at a pool party

A
white police officer in the US state
of Texas has been suspended after video emerged of him drawing a
gun at a pool party and throwing a 14-year-old black girl in a
bikini to the ground.

Corporal
Eric Casebolt could be seen pulling the girl's hair and pinning her down for
several minutes, shouting "On your face" as he shoved her head into
the grass. He
also pulled his gun and pointed it at two black teenage boys before other
officers intervened and the youngsters ran away.VIDEO:

The
officer also swore and appeared to handcuff at random several black youngsters
who protested they had just arrived at the pool party. The incident took place
at a residential community in McKinney, 40 miles from Dallas.

A
dozen police officers had responded to reports that teenagers not from the
residential community, who therefore did not have permission to use the pool,
had refused to leave. In the seven minute video, taken by a bystander and
uploaded to YouTube, it appeared that white officers, including Cpl Casebolt,
only targeted black teenagers in the mixed race group attending the party.

Brandon
Brooks, who took the video, said: "A fight between a mother and a girl
broke out and when the cops showed up everyone ran, including the people who
didn't do anything. "So the cops just started putting everyone on the
ground and in handcuffs for no reason. This kind of force is uncalled for
especially on children and innocent bystanders."

The
case comes amid growing
unease across America over the use of violence by police officers, especially
against black people.
